May 23 is the Heroes of Ukraine Day.
We remember those who gave their lives for Ukraine — and those still fighting.
Soldiers. Medics. Pilots. Poets.
Ordinary people who became legends.
This thread is about them.

IIvan Zubkov “Krab”
Senior lieutenant, one of the legendary “Cyborgs.”

One of the earliest symbols of Ukrainian resilience.

SitRep - 22/05/26 - What happened in Starobilsk?
An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While Ukraine claims military sites were hit in Starobilsk, Russia puts out claims of civilians being hit. Most likely Generals?

Normalise reading “Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'ala Allah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah” before you leave the house, we live in crazy world.
We’re living in a world that changes people overnight, where hearts, intentions, and situations can shift without warning. But Allah never told us to walk through life unprotected.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“When a man goes out of his house and says:
‘Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘ala Allah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah,’
it is said to him: ‘You are guided, defended, and protected.’ And Shaytan moves away from him.” (Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3426)

If you think you have read everything about Mike Johnson think again. 🧵

Mike Johnson has filed federal disclosures for 8 yrs & reports no bank acct, no savings, no retirement fund, no investments.

His wife Kelly runs a nonprofit where most of the money goes to her salary (prob all of the money in general) funded by anonymous donors.
An ethics complaint said Johnson left about thirteen thousand dollars of her income off his own forms.

3/Before Congress, Johnson worked w Exodus International, a group behind pray the gay away programs aimed at LGBTQ teens.
Exodus wasn't a controversy. It was systemic sexual abuse.
This week, former pres. of Exodus was arrested in a sting for trying to meet a 14 yr old boy.

First — who is Thomas Massie and why did it cost $35 million to remove him?
14 years in Congress. MIT engineer. Builds his own house off the grid in rural Kentucky.
Zero ethics complaints. Zero foreign aid votes. Never once voted for a blank check.
He was the one who said no when everyone else said yes.
That made him the most dangerous man in a very comfortable room.

His first words on election night — after losing the most expensive congressional primary in 250 years of American history:
"I would have come out sooner — but I had to find Ed Gallrein. In Tel Aviv."
No self-pity. No tears. No gracious platitudes.
Just a man who knew exactly where his opponent was.
And exactly what that meant.

My statin thread reached over 460,000 people. Thousands of you asked the same question.
"If cholesterol does not cause heart disease, then what does?"
The answer has been published for years. In the largest risk factor study ever conducted. 27,939 women. 21 years. Published in JAMA Cardiology.
Here is what they found. And here is why nobody told you.

The pharmaceutical industry spent billions of dollars trying to prove that lowering cholesterol saves lives.
60 clinical trials. 323,950 patients. Statins. PCSK9 inhibitors. Ezetimibe. Every drug class. Every dose.
Look at the chart. The x-axis is how much they lowered LDL. Some trials dropped it by 20%. Some by 60%. Some by 80%.
The y-axis is mortality benefit. How many lives were saved.
Every single dot is clustered around zero. Some are below zero. Below zero means more people died.
They reduced LDL by up to 80%. Nobody was saved.

So how do you take those results and turn them into the best-selling drug class in the history of medicine?
You change the language.
Instead of saying "1 in 200 people benefit," you say "36% risk reduction." Same data. Different framing. One sounds useless. The other sounds like a miracle.
The absolute risk reduction is 1.1%. For every 200 people who take a statin, 1 avoids a heart attack. 199 get no benefit.
Abramson and Wright. BMJ. 2007. 83,000 patients.
With those results you would think this drug would disappear. Instead it became a $200 billion industry. 250 million prescriptions worldwide.
That is not science. That is the greatest marketing campaign in pharmaceutical history. And 250 million people fell for it.

The repossession of City of London by the Monarch happened when League of Augsburg William of Orange took over in the interim between the Stuart line's end and the HRE Hanoverian-Wittelsbach-Stuart line began.
They'll say Charles II did it- he made it dormant.
Interesting, no?

The founding of the German-modeled Central bank, Bank of England in 1694, was a direct consequence of the 1690 restoration of the City of London’s freedoms, and it fundamentally altered global finance...
When the City of London Corporation regained its independent charter, its wealthy merchant elite suddenly had the legal protection and political security to strike an unprecedented deal with the Crown.
Prior, the Corporation was dissolved and lost all its power. Funny that.

Trump’s Reckless Greenland Obsession Is Damaging NATO, Ignoring Geography, and Disrespecting Greenlanders - 🧵
1. Trump’s continued aggressive campaign to seize or heavily control Greenland is not strategic leadership.

3. Trump's campaign for Greenland isn’t “peace through strength” — it’s unilateral bullying that alienates the very partners needed for real Arctic security.

1/ Some things I've learned recently running coding agents on large-scale projects. Most of this contradicts advice from 6 months ago!
2/ Think bigger. This is the most common mistake I see: tasks scoped too small. At this point you want to be aiming for work that would take a good engineer multiple weeks.
3/ Try using one long-running implementer session for the entire project. Mine routinely run for days or even weeks continuously, compacting many, many times. Compaction works now. Long sessions remember your conventions and patterns and you stop needing to re-explain things.
Last week I reported that Carlos Espina was paid $100K by Tom Steyer through his LLC and wasn't disclosing the payment in social media posts.
Yesterday, hours before Steyer was set to release his May expenditures, Espina posted on Substack that Steyer was paying him $400,000.
Yesterday, hours before Steyer was set to release his May expenditures, Espina posted on Substack that Steyer was paying him $400,000.
Sure enough, the new disclosures from Steyer show another $200K being budged to pay Espina, via his LLC, in May. Presumably another $100K will come in the June report.
Steyer's disclosure is packed with $ to influencers who haven't disclosed that they were paid.
Some, like Espina, claim they don't have to because they're being paid as consultants. But does Steyer want a consultant or the 14.5M TikTok followers?
